Strawberry Cheesecake Lush Dessert

While the berries are ripe and juicy, it’s time to whip up this exquisite Strawberry Cheesecake Lush Dessert!! This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.

Strawberry Cheesecake Lush

I’ve been seeing “lush” recipes all over the Internet. I’m not exactly sure what a lush is, but they all seem to be dreamy, creamy, no-bake fruit desserts. I’d say the majority have whipped topping and many use pudding mixes. The temptation to make a luscious “lush” dessert has been gnawing away at me all summer. Especially after drooling over these 21 No Bake Layered Dessert Lush Recipes! Plus, any dessert where you don’t have to turn on the oven, like this Peanut Butter Cookie Lasagna, is perfect for summer. No-bake desserts are wonderful for those sultry days.

I decided to try my hand on a Cool Whip and pudding free version, hoping it would be tasty enough to deserve the “lush” title. With such beautiful summer berries available, I started experimenting with a strawberry cheesecake lush! It turned out to be heaven on a plate! The hubby gave this Strawberry Cheesecake Lush his seal of approval, too. If you love strawberry desserts as much as I do, check out this retro Mile High Strawberry Pie recipe, too.

Instructions

In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until light and creamy. Fold in sour cream and chopped strawberries. Spread over crust. Freeze for an hour to allow filling to firm up.

Layer sliced strawberries over filling.

Whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla and spread over berries. Serve chilled.

Notes

I did not bake the crust, so it was rather crumbly. If you’d like a firmer crust, bake it at 350 degrees for about 8-10 minutes. Cool before adding toppings.

This looks delicious, Liz. And, you know I am always looking for easy. Graham crackers are my favorite thing in the world (what I would take to a deserted island) I always have an inventory of 4 boxes. Just need to pick up cream cheese and strawberries and I’m in business.
